Copper wire would not be suitable for use in fame tests due to the fact it would cause the flame to change colour (usually to green). The experimenter wants to observe the colour change produced by the sample, not the wire.

What happens when a copper wire is placed over a burning candle?
The candle's flame appears to go out, but the candle is still burning. In reality, the coil of copper wire is conducting heat away from the candle flame. If you remove the coil of wire, the flame reappears. Hope this helps!
What color would copper II nitrate burn?
Copper (II) Nitrate burns in a Green flame
What color is the flame when you burn copper II chloride?
A: If you put a piece of copper wire on any type of flame (most preferably cooking flames), then you would observe that they produce a green color in the flame. Sometimes, it might give youa blue tinge but if it doesn't, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with the copper you're using.
What color flame would cupric nitrate produce?
The flame color would be green.
Does copper attract with the south pole of a magnet?
No, copper is not magnetic.ANS2:Copper is not a magnetic metal so the only ways it would be affected would be through electromagnetism or if the copper were part of a magnetic alloy.

Which element would create a green flame?
This element is copper (II), excepting halides.
When doing flame tests Li Cl and K Cl both contain Cl so what makes the flame tests different colors?
The flame tests are different because they contain different metal cations. Since the metals were the variable that you changed, you know that can be the only reason why the flames would be different colors.
Why would it be difficult to determine unknown liquids only be their flame tests?
no one knows That I am so sorry
Explain why you would or would not expect significant ionization in the flame?
If the test agent have free ions the ionization of the flame will be significant. When the energy reaches a point when it take more energy the flame ionization will not be significant.
Where can you get zippo with green flames coming out of it?
Zippo does not sell a lighter that has a green flame. In order to achieve a green flame, you'd have to use chemicals such as Copper Sulfate or Boric Acid dissolved in methanol. You would take the Chemical and Methanol solution and add it to your lighter fluid. Another option is to have a piece of copper such as a wire suspended in your flame. It is best to sand the piece of copper.

Copper (II) Nitrate burns in a Green flame

What element burns green in flame test?
Chromium I don't know about Chrome, maybe, but Copper definitely does and is the most well known for doing so. So I would say Copper. Copper burns blue-green in a flame test. Thallium burns bright green.
What color flame would copper produce?
It usually produces a green sort of colour unless you hold the experiment out incorrectly
Why can't tap water be used for flame tests?
Contaminants in the tap water may alter the color of the flame produced. This basically means that not only would the desired sample be burned, but also would any contaminants in the tap water. Therefore, to ensure the color of the flame produced is only that of the tested substance, distilled water alone must be used.
What instruments would you flame sterilize?
blue flame
